    First I want to thank the members here for your help with this installation. I installed Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit on my Mac Pro dual quad core. Vegas 10 64 bit works very well on this machine. Right now I have one instance of Vegas open and capturing video from a camera. I have another instance of Vegas rendering a different video. I have DVDA burning a Blu-Ray of third video. I’m typing this post at the same time that all that is going on.

    I guess it does sound like bragging. I’m just so excited to finaly see this work. I made the mistake of installing the 32bit version of Win7 first and that didn’t work well.

    I was only kidding, it is nice to see people getting stuff to work properly!!! I did the same thing, spent a whole day installing OS and programs, only to get to Vegas 64 bit to realize I install 32bit OS as well…lots of fun!!!

    Just to help others here’s how I did it. I didn’t start with Boot Camp. Boot Camp is a utility to partition a Drive. Since I was using an entire HD for Windows I didn’t use the Boot Camp Utility.

    I put the Win7 cd in the computer and shut it down. I pulled out all the HDs except the one I wanted Winodws on then booted the computer while holding the Option key, then selected the Win7 cd. Windows started but Winows would not install until I formatted the HD then it was a normal install.

    One thing about it is everytime the computer restarts during the install you have to be ready to hold the Option key and boot to Winodws, not the Win7 cd. After Win7 installs put your Snow Leopard cd in and it will update the Drivers and put a BootCamp folder on the computer. Update Boot Camp from the Start Menu. Try update a second time to make sure it’s done.
    Now you’re ready to install Vegas.
